Yesterday Freida Pinto, Dev Patel and Danny Boyle attended the party for this year’s BAFTA nominees. Freida is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of “Latika” in Slumdog Millionaire. I’ve added 21 photos from the event so far. Check them out by clicking on the previews below!

Be sure to return to Freida Pinto Fan tonight to see the first photos from the red carpet of the BAFTA Awards, and to find out if Freida’s won the award! See y’all tonight.

Yesterday, Freida returned to Toronto, Canada, for a press meeting. She was very happy to be back in the city, as audiences at the Toronto International Film Festival were among the first to praise Slumdog Millionaire. I have added a few photos taken between the interviews and an article from the event can be read below.

“I’m very excited to be here,” the Mumbai-raised model-turned-actress, who made her film debut as the love interest in the drama that’s been nominated for 10 Oscars, said at a gala for the South Asian lifestyles magazine Anokhi.

“In a strange way it’s like my little gift back to the city because this is where it all started. This is where we had a first fan following, where we had the first standing ovation given to us by the press,” said Pinto, 24, referring to the People’s Choice Award the film won at the Toronto festival last September.

“I think in a strange way if this city hadn’t started it all for us, it could have been a bit more difficult.”Read full article.

Freida Pinto is featured on the Vanities page in the upcoming March issue of Vanity Fair! She’s seen holding a miniature earth globe as a pin-up girl in a red bikini top, yellow polka-dot shorts and red shoes. Let me tell you, Freida is hot. On second thought, she’s hotter than hot; She’s hote.

Being on the Vanities-page is a big deal, and I want to congratulate Freida for the tremendous honor of being featured! I have added both the magazine scan as well as the original photoshoot-picture to the gallery. Enjoy!

Freida’s mentioned on yet another style-list, this time on Vogue.com‘s “Best Dressed”. She came in at the top spot, before celebs such as January Jones, Marion Cotillard and Renée Zellweger. The outfit they chose to showcase is the one seen to the left.

Yesterday, Freida was spotted in New York City as she was heading to designer Oscar de la Renta’s headquarters on Manhattan. She then left with a new coat and a gown in a long garment bag (carried by her stylist George Kotsiopoulos). Will she be wearing Oscar de la Renta to the Oscars? Or will the Oscar-dress be seen at the BAFTAs this Sunday? Wow, that was confusing.

Freida Pinto is featured at the third spot on TeenVogue’s Best Dressed list of January 2009! Thanks to the TeenVogue staff for the heads up on this. The outfit they chose to represent Freida’s fashion sense was her gold/yellow dress at this year’s Golden Globes.

The 29th Annual London Critics’ Circle Film Awards is being held tonight at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, England. There are already photos from the red carpet, though the only Slumdog Millionaire people there so far are Dev Patel and Danny Boyle. Fingers crossed for Freida!

Update: Still no sign of Freida at the award show. I guess she’s still in New York (she was seen leaving a business meeting there two days ago). Sorry to dissapoint!

As some of you noticed, Freida Pinto Fan experienced some downtime earlier today. It’s all fixed now and everything should be working normally again. Now onto today’s update; Another batch of 70+ photos of Freida from the 61st Annual Directors Guild of America Awards have been added to the gallery! She looked absolutely amazing in her draped Zac Posen dress.

Thanks to the lovely contributor Michelle, we now have a scan of Freida from the November/December 2008 issue of Krome magazine. Freida was shown with a photo among other stars in a collague-type feature. The picture is nothing short of stunning, as you can see from the preview below. Click on it to see the scan in full size. Enjoy!

Yesterday the 61st Annual Directors Guild of America Awards was held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles. Freida Pinto along with co-stars Dev Patel & Anil Kapoor and director Danny Boyle were all in attendance. Miss Pinto looked fantastic in a short silvery dress, showing off her legs-for-days.

Slumdog Millionaire walked away with yet another award! This time Danny Boyle received Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Motion Pictures. Are you too starting to smell some serious Oscar wins for the movie?
